As I understand it, the Trinity teaches that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit share the same divine nature. This nature defines them as God.

To the fallen, Satan is their god. This does not make him a god, he is only treated as such by his slaves. It is only from their perspective that there is any other god. There is precident for someone who is clearly not God standing in as God. In Moses' encounter with the burning bush for...

This can easily be clarified by ATP.

I think that is what everyone thinks he is promoting, but I didn't make the same assumption. That is why I said I think there is confusion as to what it means to be saved.

Being saved is more than a one time event when you accept Jesus as your Lord, It is a state of being. We should consider what it means when we say Jesus is Lord, what is he Lord of? Shouldn't that include our own lives?

Haven't you seen or heard of people who hate God coming to Jesus? I certainly have. There are many misunderstandings about God among the unsaved, when they hate him. There is much confusion here, and I think it has to do with what it means to be saved.

God saves who he wills. People who are saved will not go on hating God.

2 Timothy 1:7 "For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline."

Good, it would stink to require willpower only to be required to surrender it at the same time.

I didn't mean to sound discouraging, I agree with Barrd and the scriptures concerning those who love Jesus doing his will. I want to point out that it isn't so simple to always do his will. People struggle with sin all the time, some struggle because they love Jesus. This reminds me of Is...

Yea, rocket science is easy. You can keep launching rockets till you get it right, but you only have one life. How does it work practically, and why is it that those who love Jesus do what he says? There can be many obstacles to overcome in order to conform to his will. Is that scripture...

It is curious that those who claim to hear God speak to them never end up on the losing side of a disagreement. I remember when others in the past were rebuked by someone kindly, not for claiming to hear God's voice, but some behavioral issue. Inevitably they take offence and they get some...

The chief Stewart was no prophet, so he was talking about wine. God most likely arranged the situation at the feast to hold some symbolic meaning. I've assumed that the new wine is like the new covenant. It is new and less burdensome than the old covenant, better in many ways.

Satan is a spirit, as are the princes and powers of the air. UFOs, if they are real, would be flown by living creatures. If they appeared and pointed away from God, I would assume them a hidden race of highly intelligent nephalem in league with the powers of darkness.

This is completely ridiculous. If David has received the Holy Spirit there is no reason for him not to be baptised. Should he first prove his resolve and show some other manifestation of the Holy Spirit before he is accepted? Is that standard applied to all the bench warmers whos donations...

Good post! Welcome to the forum Olivia.

Most evil practices have their own name that is specific and different than the good thing that came from God and was perverted. What should gay "marriage" be called?

The wedding cake is a man made tradition. There is nothing Holy about a wedding cake, therefore there is not a moral reason to refuse this service. If pastors were being forced to marry gay couples that is another story.

I hope another GOP candidate wins the primaries. Most of all I hope the republican party doesn't railroad him into running as an independent.

Your terse response is contrary to Romans 9:6. Obviously if lineage was the only requirement for being an Israelite the scripture would be false. Since that isn't the case it is you who are wrong about this reply at the least.
